Directions

Preheat ridged grill pan or prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat. Cut pork tenderloin lengthwise, almost in half. Open tenderloin like a book and spread flat. Place tenderloin between 2 sheets plastic wrap and, with meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Cut tenderloin into 4 steaks; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.

In small bowl, mix jam, sugar, ginger, lemon juice, cinnamon, and garlic. Brush 1 side of each pork steak and cut side of each plum half with plum-jam glaze. Place steaks and plums, glaze side down, on hot grill pan or rack. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Brush steaks and plums with remaining glaze. Turn steaks and plums; grill 3 minutes longer or until steaks are browned on both sides and just lose their pink color throughout and plums are tender.
